    Title: Meddlen Worms
    Author: Fission25
    Rating: PG-13/T
    Genre: Romance/Drama/Independence
    DLP Category: Romance or General
    Pairing: Harry/Luna
    Words: 2,737
    Published: June 17, 2008

    Status: Oneshot
    Summary: During his fifth year, Luna helps Harry get rid of a Meddlen Worm infestation while teaching him what's most important in life.
    Link: Patronus Charm Fanfiction.net

    Pretty good Luna/Harry oneshot. One or two minor spelling mistakes, mostly the wrong word in the wrong place; but nothing that detracts from the piece heavily.

    Not overly fluffy, and pretty damned good portrayal of Luna. Damn near close to canon, save the "non-standard uniform" bit. You'll understand that when you read it.

    You forgot the ficwad link. This one was... different. I enjoyed it, so I suppose I'll go for a 4/5 as long as it stays a oneshot.

    You linked to the wrong Patronus Charm fic >_>.

    I liked it. The 'non-standard uniform' bit was a nice touch and it was just fluffy enough to make me smile without it turning into a grimace. A good 4/5 for me, because the Meddlen worms have been exorcised for now :D.

    Neat one-shot. Definitely a must read for Luna fans, the author does a very good job of characterizing her.

    4.5/5 because of a few spelling/word choice errors.

    Nice piece. Not too fluffy, but not too serious. I liked the way Luna was done. 3.75/5

    It was enjoyable, especially the bit near the end. For a fluffy one-shot, 4/5

    Well, it's not bad, and I think there would be more of a call for fics with atleast mentions of wizarding narcotics and things. The idea is sound however kinda pointless and boring some may think it.

    For a oneshot fic that doesnt follow or stand as a prerequisite to a larger fic, i give it a 4/5

    Didn't really do much for me, it was pretty much the same thing as all the dozen other H/Luna oneshots out there. Would be nice to see a fic of decent length with that pairing that's actually complete.

    That was brilliantly well done. I liked the mood throughout the story. Great oneshot. 4/5

    ...WTF is with Druggy!Harry?

    Didn't anyone else notice the reference to Contemplating Clouds?

    Good enough one-shot by the way.

    This was pretty decent - maybe I'm spoiled, but I just didn't think this quite met its potential. I was faintly disappointed after I read it - not really sure why. I did like Luna's characterization, and I think the writing is technically quite sound. I think I'll give it a:

    3.5/5

    Indeed I did. I actually WTF-ed when I saw it the first time and read over that twice. Wasn't really mention-worthy though.

    Really, not bad. The ending hit me as a tad forced, 'He had his Luna' etc. Someone needs to tell Harry that any relationship built on a night of alcohol or, in this case a day of magical mushrooms, may not be the most lasting...but hey he's fifteen. I suppose chapter two can teach Harry that lesson.

    Still it was a nice read. Sweet without venturing into fluff, at least not too much. The 'magic mushrooms' made me happy. Nice inclusion of drug reference into HP world. Also explains Luna a bit, although made her seem more like a drugged out hippie than a free spirit, but it's a fun interpretation.

    Not bad, well written, on the whole not a waste to read.

    There's a Harry Potter/Mario crossover there somewhere...

    Anyway I like it. I'll give it a 3.9/5

    I quite enjoyed it, always good to see more H/Luna.
    4/5.

    Now if only Tehan would write more of Contemplating Clouds...
